After US actress Letita Wright came out as an opponent of vaccinations, she apparently deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Actress Letita Wright (27) became a star with "Black Panther" (2018), among others. On Instagram alone, her fame helped her to gain more than 2.1 million followers. However, the artist's profile is no longer accessible. "Unfortunately, this page is not available," it says on the platform. And the actress's account is also no longer online on Twitter, the account does not exist, they say. Wright has apparently deleted her social media profiles. But why?
Wright had previously shared a controversial anti-vaccine video, as reported by the US industry magazine "Variety". This should also include transphobic utterances. Wright later explained that she did not post the link to the video to "hurt anyone", but because it had increased her concerns about the ingredients in a corona vaccine. Prior to that, she had also written that nowadays you are sawed off when you don't follow popular opinion, ask questions and think for yourself.
"Crazy and Fucked Up"
Wright's Marvel colleague Don Cheadle (56, "Iron Man 3") also expressed concerns, but also took the actress into protection. Among other things, he explained on Twitterthat he watched excerpts of the video and everything he saw was "crazy and fucked up". He will "never defend anyone" who shares something like this, but he does not want to write off his colleague for a long time. But he doesn't want to have the conversation on Twitter.
In a previous tweet he had already stated that he wanted to speak to her if she said something "crazy". That's how he does it with friends, and he hopes they'll take the same approach if he messes up.
